Tonight I was feeling scatter brained on what to learn about and came up with a few random ideas which so far were unsuccessful.

  • I tried building vscode on a raspberry pi inspired by Marc Gravell. I was able to clone the repository, install the dependencies and build it with the appropriate --arch= armhf flag.
  • The gulp watch command executed (took quite a long time) however ./scripts/code.sh fails with an error which appears to be something about headless mode.

Xlib extension “RANDR” missing on display “:1”

hmmmmmmm

mental recap

  • Learned how to build something from source, even though the last step failed
  • I think I need to find a new vnc server, something with this randr seems to be missing from tightvncserver
  • I didn’t really create much tonight, but did accomplish…something…so that is a win at least? Right?
